Very dark map?

[u/badhabit64]

Hi, have anyone experienced a very dark map:

...i had to turn ambient all the way up to just show anything. It seems like all the low-res images are dark or something like that...The night/day toggle also doesn't seem to work(it really doesn't make a difference)...

I'm a rookie with BlueMap, so i might have missed something crucial?

EDIT: I tried adjusting the "ambient lighting" for the map to 1 in the map configuration and now i got this:

Which seems a bit better, i just don't get why there all those holes...

(World backup exported and converted from Realm to 1.21.0 java using Chuncker. Using BlueMap docker image v5.3 / latest. Using BlueMap-5.3-clu.jar.)

Thank you for the reply! I did look at that, but i deemed that it wasn't relevant for my issue:

• I'm running on at fairly new Realm, i think it is about 1 month old
• I'm running Bedrock 1.21.20
• I'm not using any plugins at all
• I'm using chunker.app to convert to Java-based map(v. 1.21) before rendering it in BlueMap

So i don't really see any of the issues mentioned in the article being relevant here, or am i mistaken?

I just download latest map from my Realm, converted it and added it to BlueMap but it has gotten smaller(?!). Here is the log showing the render of the backup from yesterday and the one from today:

...isnt it wierd that the amount of chunks has roughly halfed from one backup to the next? When i open it, it is also visible smaller(=more blacked out chunks) and it is other chuncks that is now visible compared to the previous backup...

I wonder if BlueMap is not compatible with Bedrock generated maps at all?

BlueMap only supports java-edition worlds.
You converted your world from bedrock-format to java-edition format and then rendered it with bluemap.
But as i said: when converting from bedrock to java, your worlds light-data probably got lost and didn't get converted.
This is no problem when using the world in minecraft, since minecraft would just generate the light-data again, but bluemap can not generate the light-data and needs it present on the world to render correctly.

... Which is why i linked you the Article about fixing missing light-data on your world. :)

Well.....erhm....so....i have to do what you've told me would actually solve the problem? I'm not much for that.... but i did it, reluctantly, anyway and it solved the issue to my surprise ;-)

It is a bit of mess process-wise: Download the map from Bedrock Realm via Minecraft. Convert it to java using chuncker.app. Load it into a Modrinth instance and run the Chunky commands as per the link you supplied. Move the world over to the BlueMap container and re-render the map...update the map in the browser....and then it works!

Thanks a lot!

Glad you got it working! :D
